This is an introduction to queer theory and queer studies, so a lot of things are just touched on (like asexuality and crip studies), but I think it managed to be pretty thorough for the restrictions. It also addresses some of the criticisms of queer theory, especially its failure to incorporate race and other intersectionality.

I wish this had been around when I was first learning about queer theory and felt completely lost! This is a great intro text. If you’re at all interested in queer theory, especially if it’s seemed intimidating, this is a great one to pick up! I think other queer theory books will seem much more comprehensible once you’ve gotten the basics from Queer: A Graphic History.

Queer: A Graphic History by Meg-John Barker, illustrated by Julia Scheele was reviewed @ The Lesbrary
